Hiking at Acadia National Park

This is a little figure study I painted of my wife, taken from a photograph, the summer before last. This watercolor sketch was done very quickly, so I could not fuss around with much detail. I think it does capture the dappled light, which was prevalent on this beautiful day.

We were in the process of hiking around Jordan Pond, at Acadia National Park, in Bar Harbor, Maine. We were not far from the Jordan Pond House, where we later had popovers, out on the patio. However, the trails were quite crowded, and we had to step aside frequently to let other hikers pass amongst the intersections of trails and along the narrow boardwalks.
